I pulled up a 'sunlight hours' calendar for my zip the other day.. seems like the days are getting longer by 2 mins a day. Shortest days of the year are done, at least I can see outside now on the way home.. on the downhill part of this winter :)
We achieve a balance of 12 hrs between sunrise and sunset here on March 16th. Twilight balance of 12 hrs is achieved on Feb 24th when dawn start and twilight end are 12 hours apart.
